Kate Walsh and Philip Taylor get up close and personal in tonight’s show. The pair can be seen canoodling together in a hanging wicker chair and whispering as the other contestants chat amongst themselves a few metres away. And things heated up a bit more as the couple stole a quiet moment alone lying on the sofas and gazing into each other’s eyes. Kate, a licensing development manager, recently revealed she and Phil had shared a secret kiss one evening during their time in the penthouse.

Friends of Phil, an estate agent, also revealed the pair had a bit of “fumble” under the covers one night. But things could turn nasty for the pair if Apprentice romance history is anything to go by. Sir Alan fired hopeful Paul Callaghan in season three for getting cosy with man-eater Katie Hopkins. Season two winner Michelle Dewberry had a long term relationship with fellow contestant Syed Ahmed but the pair split when Michelle suffered a miscarriage.
